New stretch target
The more funding we receive, the more investigations we can launch into illegal wildlife crime and the more abuse we can expose. It really is that simple.
We want to expose those who abuse and persecute wildlife for entertainment and through undercover investigations we will do just that.

The more funding we receive, the more investigations we can launch into illegal wildlife crime and the more abuse we can expose. It really is that simple.
We're Keep The Ban and we work to end fox hunting and all forms of wildlife abuse. That's why we're partnered with the Hunt Investigation Team to expose those who persecute animals for the sheer fun of it. The highly skilled investigators are on standby to carry out multiple investigations this year and each one costs £3000.
There are a dozen reports of illegal activity taking place across the country and with your support we can investigate every single one of them.
In March 2022 we released a new investigation exposing the Vale of White Horse Hunt using terriermen and in breach of the 2004 Hunting Act. This is the first undercover investigation funded by the generosity and support of this Crwodfunder - without your support this would not be possible.
This investigation proves what anti fox hunting campaigners have been saying for years. There is no such thing as 'trail hunting'. Fox hunting continues to take place across the British Isles. During filming not a single trail was ever seen being laid.
What's more is that landowners and terriermen are complicit in procuring foxes to be hunted and this undercover footage reflects what is taking place across the country. We cannot underemphasize the scale of the problem when it comes to the persecution of wildlife in this country. It's long been time that the outdated and flawed anti-hunting legislation (2004 Hunting Act) is strengthened and properly enforced to ensure fox hunting and other forms of wildlife persecution are truly consigned to the history books.
British wildlife is in desperate need of respite from those intent on riding roughshod across the countryside killing anything in their way.
Then in October 2021 we revealed how the Beaufort Hunt were shooting dead many of their healthy hunting dogs and this led to nationwide press coverage and an ITV exclusive.
It showed for the first time how hunts up and down the country dispose of unwanted hounds deemed no longer good enough. Two of the poor hounds had to be shot twice after showing signs of life. The footage was instrumental in helping put pressure on the National Trust and other major landowners to end the licensing of 'trail hunts' on their land.
We have an abundance of intel and several investigations waiting to be launched and with your support we can uncover what really goes on in the British countryside.
With your backing, 2022 will be the year that we educate the public about the below and so much more..
Every pound raised from this fundraiser will go straight into funding a team of highly skilled and expert investigators. We use the latest and greatest technologies and surveillance techniques to capture the truth. Together we can make a real difference for wildlife and put pressure on decision makers to make a change for good.
It is time that those who subject animals to sickening abuse are exposed for the world to see and held responsible for their actions.
